Heb 10:35-39 1 Cor 9:24-27 Heb 12:12-13
1 Cor 9:24-27 "In a race everyone runs, but only one person gets first prize. So run your race to win. To win the contest you must deny yourselves many things that would keep you from doing your best. An athlete goes to all this trouble just to win a blue ribbon or a silver cup, but we do it for a heavenly reward that never disappears. So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I fight to win. I’m not just shadow-boxing or playing around. Like an athlete I punish my body, treating it roughly, training it to do what it should, not what it wants to. Otherwise, I fear that after enlisting others for the race, I, myself, might be declared unfit and ordered to stand aside."
Heb 10:35-39 "Do not let this happy trust in the Lord die away, no matter what happens. Remember your reward! You need to keep on patiently doing God’s will if you want him to do for you all that he has promised. His coming will not be delayed much longer. And those whose faith has made them good in God’s sight must live by faith, trusting him in everything. Otherwise, if they shrink back, God will have no pleasure in them. But we have never turned our backs on God and sealed our fate. No, our faith in him assures our souls’ salvation."
Heb 12:12-13 "So take a new grip with your tired hands, stand firm on your shaky legs. Mark out a straight, smooth path for your feet so that those who follow you, though weak and lame, will not fall and hurt themselves, but become strong."
In life’s race, running with faith matters. Bible verses inspire us to push through hard times. They remind us the end counts most. Stay courageous; finish strong! God’s grace helps us keep going, every step of the way.
